The managing director of Aeroground Berlin, Simon Batt-Nauerz, seems to have burst his collar due to increased sick leave. “I've got the faxes thick,” he says in a selfie video that he sent to the staff.

The Business Insider portal, citing the video, reports that the manager accuses that around 30 percent of employees who have reported sick are not sick at all. Aeroground Berlin is currently "going for a swim" even though the volume is significantly lower than before the corona pandemic. “We owe this to a very select group of employees: namely those who think that they can make you sick,” Business Insider quotes. “I've got the faxes thick. We will take a close look at this and we will use all legal possibilities to part with employees who are exploiting the system. "

He also explains that there were days when planning was carried out with around 60 employees on the apron. In the short term, around 25 reported sick. Simon Batt-Nauerz also said: “We will hold you accountable. Either you pull the belt and take over the shifts that are assigned to you, or you will feel the consequences! ”The company could no longer be saved with such high failure rates.
